The Sinfonia Sevillana was composed in 1920 and appeared almost simultaneously with another orchestral masterpiece, the Danzas fantasticas. Both pieces are dedicated to the Spanish poet Jose Mas.

ISBN M-007-03733-8. Sacred concertos, Psalms, German.
The 27 concerti of the Symphoniae sacra II are milestones in the development of the German-language sacred concerto for virtuoso solo singers, instruments (mostly violins) and basso continuo. Published one year before what became, by far, the more well-known Geistliche Chormusik of 1648, they show another artistic side of Schutz, alongside the traditional, vocal polyphony scored for larger ensembles. In the Stuttgart Schutz Edition the works are now presented for the first time ever in an edition based on a comprehensive new investigation of the sources which does justice to the differentiated source situation and at the same time is oriented toward musical practice. The edition includes detailed explanatory texts.

The Russian Easter Overture is a symphonic overture by the renowned Russian teacher and composer Nicolaj Rimskij-Korsakov (1844-1908), especially well-known for his skills in orchestration. Composed between August 1887 and April 1988, he dedicated the work to the memory of Modest Mussorgskij and Alexander Borodin. In order to recount the passage of time from the Passion on Saturday and Christ's Resurrection the next day, the composer drew inspiration from orthodox church liturgies.

This transcription of the symphonic poem, made by Jose Schyns, became one of the highlights at the Kerkrade WMC in 2005.

Der 116. Psalm by Franz Schreker (1878-1934). Edited by Christopher Hailey / Iris Pfeiffer. For SSA choir, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, harp, organ, 2 violins, viola, cello, double bass [piano for rehearsal only]. German title: Der 116. Psalm. Psalms, German. Complete orchestral parts. Language: German. Composed 1900. Duration 14 minutes. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.751019).
With Language: German. Psalms, German.
Franz Schreker was an important representative of the "Wiener Moderne" and one of the most successful opera composers at the beginning of the 20th century. To conclude his studies at the Vienna Conservatory he set Psalm 116 for women's choir and orchestra (1900) and dedicated to his "beloved teacher Robert Fuchs, in reverence." Fuchs, the highly respected composition teacher, was a close friend of Johannes Brahms and a champion of Brahms's romantic classicism. Thus, Schreker's psalm setting closely follows the tonal language of Brahms. In 1901 Psalm 116 was first performed in a concert of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, and was first published in the same year by the Viennese publisher Adolf Robitschek. The scoring of the psalm is identical with that of Brahms's Deutsches Requiem, which would suggest and facilitate a performance of both these on the same concert program.

Metamorphoseon by Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936). Arranged by Matty Cilissen. For Concert band. Symphonic Series. Grade 5. Score and set of parts. Duration 0:16:45. Published by Beriato Music (BT.0604-1-312).
Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) is one of the most significant 20th century Italian composers. In particular, his works Pini di Roma, Feste Romane and Fontane di Roma are very well known and his general virtuoso composing style appeals strongly to the imagination. In Metamorphoseon, the composer varies the same theme in 12 steps (modi). This is a magnificent work in a beautiful transcription by Matty Cilissen.

ISBN M-007-07653-5. With Language: Czech/German. Masses, German, Masses, Latin, Christmas.
Freely rhymed Mass settings; available either in German or Czech. The Bohemian Christmas masses are a typical product from the end of the 18th century. Jan Jakub Ryba's Pastoral Mass from 1796 is a prototype of this genre. It was set in Czechoslovakian and filled with a conscious simple, folk-like musicality, which every villager in Ryba's time could understand. Correspondingly, Ryba's work became so popular that in the course of time-according to Milan Kuna, the editor of the Mass-"it was felt to be a symbol of Czechoslovakian Christmas." In addition to the original text the music also includes a German singing text.Score available separately - see item CA.4067800.
